FINDLAY, Ohio --Marathon Petroleum Corp. president and CEO Gary R. Heminger has announced a series of key management changes at MPC headquarters, including the appointments of Donald C. Templin as executive vice president of supply, transportation and marketing, and Timothy T. Griffith as senior vice president and CFO.
Both will report to Heminger.
Templin, who has served as senior vice president and CFO since June 2011, will provide executive oversight for supply, distribution and planning, marketing, transportation and logistics and business development.
"Don has provided outstanding stewardship of our financial affairs and demonstrated valuable leadership in our first years as a standalone public company, which has been enormously beneficial to our stakeholders," said Heminger. "He has also been instrumental in our strategic growth activities, including the acquisition of the Galveston Bay Refinery, the creation of MPLX LP and our recent purchase of Hess' retail assets. I am confident that he will continue to strengthen our company's future as he applies his commercial skills on the operating side of our business."
Griffith joined MPC in August 2011 as vice president of finance and treasurer, and assumed responsibility for investor relations in early 2014. In his new role, he will oversee the accounting and controller's group, information technology, tax, finance and investor relations, and will continue to serve as treasurer.
In addition to the changes outlined above, Heminger announced that George P. Shaffner has been appointed senior vice president of health, environment, safety and security, and John S. Swearingen has been appointed senior vice president of transportation and logistics.
Shaffner will report to Heminger and Swearingen will report to Templin.
Also reporting to Templin will be James P. Heintschel in the newly created role of vice president of business development. Heintschel served as business development director prior to this appointment. He began his MPC career in 1978 in the treasury organization. He has since held various positions of increased responsibility in the treasury, supply and transportation, auditing, accounting and purchasing organizations. In 1988 he served as manager of Commercial Services for Emro Marketing Co., the predecessor to Speedway LLC. In 1995, he was manager of pricing and allocation in the marketing organization. In 2002, he was named manager of special products marketing. He assumed the role of director of business development in January 2010.
All executives involved in the moves will remain at MPC's headquarters in Findlay, Ohio. These appointments are effective immediately.
